Atrium
About This Home
Baufritz has been manufacturing timber homes in Bavaria since 1896, and the Atrium is one of the more architecturally distinctive models in the range. The defining feature is a central courtyard that runs through the floor plan, bringing natural light deep into the home and creating natural ventilation that reduces reliance on mechanical systems. It is a concept that is common in Mediterranean and Japanese architecture but rare in the prefab market.
At just under 174 m², the Atrium is a spacious single-level home with an option for a partial second floor. Premium ecological materials, energy-efficient windows with specialised glazing, and an innovative heating system meet Baufritz's usual high ecological standards. Customisation on layout and finishes is available.
For buyers who value privacy and a strong indoor connection to light and nature, the central courtyard design is genuinely hard to replicate in any other format.
What We Love
The central courtyard concept is genuinely unusual in the prefab market. It brings natural light and ventilation deep into a single-storey floor plan in a way that no amount of standard window placement can match.
